In my office, I have a mini-fridge, a keurig, and a Cinder. The Cinder is something I picked up based on reading about it on Saifedean's site. I think they are no longer selling them, seems they were going out of business - but it is basically a George Foreman grill with a flat plate top and bottom, and the plates are temperature controlled by a dial on the base. This make it really easy to cook a steak, or some sausages, while I am working. Set the plates to around 300°, sear, then drop it to less (like 225) and let it cook a little while.

I am really inconsistent at cook times/temps. I am usually working, so not really paying attention. I don't care that much about the doneness of the meat, I can eat steak at pretty much any temperature. Also a lot of the discount steak I get is thin cut, so it cooks almost as fast as it sears. For sausage, I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I leave it on there for a while.

It ends up working sort of like a souvide. Not spelling that right, it's two words, but you get the idea. Still, means that for very little effort, I eat steak and other meat while working throughout the day, and I don't even get out of my office chair.
